Latin America and the Caribbean has proved relatively resilient to the rising uncertainty in the global economy. However, over the last two decades growth rates have remained insufficient to reduce poverty and defuse social tensions. New opportunities in nearshoring and the global shift toward green production and renewable energy could help the region better integrate with the rest of the world and find paths for sustainable and inclusive growth.
William Maloney, Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean, along with high-level experts, discussed in this conversation the new growth opportunities emerging in the global economy and how the region can actively engage to drive inclusive and sustainable development.
The event, in which the new regional economic analysis "" was launched, aimed to bring together key stakeholders who discussed strategies to overcome obstacles for greater global integration and trade, attract foreign capital, and leverage the region¡¯s comparative advantages.
